Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2018-0002]


Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), this provides the public notice that on December 10, 2017, the 
Railroading Heritage of Midwest America Inc. (RHMA) petitioned the 
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from 
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained 
at 49 CFR part 230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance 
Standards. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2018-0002.
    RHMA maintains and operates the former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul 
& Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) 4-8-4 steam locomotive No. 261. 
Built in 1944 by the American Locomotive Company for the Milwaukee 
Road, No. 261 is used for educational tours operating in the midwest. 
RHMA is seeking relief from section 230.41(a), General, with respect to 
the 5-year inspection interval for flexible staybolts with caps. 
Specifically, RHMA is requesting permission to perform the 5-year 
flexible staybolt inspection at the 7-year, 6-month interval. RHMA 
feels that extending the 5-year inspection for removing the caps would 
not increase the safety risk to the boiler and the additional cost is 
not justified based on the low amount of annual service days.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications 
concerning the petition, is available for review online at 
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey 
Avenue SE, W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations 
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 
Federal Holidays.
